Or MVP
Great performance from Terran Petaway, an American who should have played in the Euroleague but for some … his own motives have failed to date. The Peristeri player scored 26 points in 31 minutes, 4/6 two points, 4/5 three points and 6/6 shots, collected seven rebounds and was the best he had to show this game.
THE WEAK LINK
The title will be shared by Howard Sand-Ross and Ioannis Papapetrou. The Cuban had 2/15 shots and the sprain that bothered him is probably not responsible for his performance, while together the two players had 5/25 shots (2/14 three points). Bad and George Papagiannis who did not take much advantage, Pierre Jackson absent, in general Panathinaikos were very bad for one more night after the friendlies in Lithuania and the match with AEK at OAKA.
THE STATISTICS THAT stood out
Eight of the 19 points in the first period, Panathinaikos hit the surprise. Peristeri, meanwhile, scored eight points from three errors on the greens, which in the second half made only one, but closed the first half with 4/13 shots from the periphery. At the end of the night, Panathinaikos had 7/32 3s (21%) and was never able to take advantage of either the 16 offensive rebounds, or the only seven errors he made in the forty minutes. The winners scored 81 points in a fixed game and only nine on the fast break, had 22 assists and shot 60% in both two and three (14/23).
THE RACE
Jones and Petaway on the one hand, Foster and Papagiannis on the other, were the four players who stood out at the start of the game. The 16-16 at 7 ‘was the result of their own actions, before Gray and Arletz scored a 3-pointer for 16-22 towards the end of the first period. Panathinaikos were primarily concerned with defense, but Nedovic was there to keep him upright.
The Serbian’s shots equaled 22-22 at the start of the second half, he put a triple from eight meters in front of the greens (27-26 in 13 ‘), the game being a derby, without great differences, not much quality. Gaddy hurt the Panathinaikos who was trying with Sant-Ross in the ace to work more rationally and the 42-42 of the time seemed absolutely fair according to the image of the two gladiators.
The two teams continued to walk hand in hand in the opening minutes of the third period, with Steven Gray hurting the Panathinaikos defense and Petaway scoring a triple to 56-59 and Marvin Jones doing what he wanted against up the greens with his energy. and agility. Vassilopoulos and Petaway kept scoring from the periphery and at 61-67 of 30 ‘he began to put a lot of pressure on the Greek champion who looked very confused.
Another 70-78 3-pointer from Petaway in the 35th minute seemed to tip the balance in Peristeri’s favor, but Nedovic was there again to keep Panathinaikos on their feet. A technique in the Athenian and a shot (74-78) kept the difference in a possession, White made the shots from 82-84 at 78 ”, but two shots from Petaway, a bad decision from Saint-Ross and another 2 / 2 of Vasilopoulos by 82-88 judged the match and gave Peristeri a great classification to the final of an official tournament.
